Thanks, Horndawg.

Footage back to ES1 now, by the way.

Hi folks, been a fan for four years (been reading you guys for the last two), I got to say that I think Audi is not going to push it too hard even in qulaifying, because they know even qualifying is not that important here. Save everything for the race, I think would be their philosophy..?

HPD is a complete seperate entity under the Honda (of America) umbrella.

Had mixed up Mic and Headphone plug. Sound with English commentary is working now

3:21.514 from... wait for it... Loic Duval!

Dunlop Corner · 9 Jun 2010, 17:08 (Ref:2707509)

Duval in the Oreca Pug now fastest. Not good for Audi.

And I think you're missing the point here.VW hadn't created Audi,Lambo etc.As I noted above Acura is a division of Honda that's why I used it as a synonym

Boy oh boy...I can't wait to see what the Pugs will be able to do in Qualifying..

Mike_Wooshy · 9 Jun 2010, 17:09 (Ref:2707512)

Jags on track .....

Victor_RO · 9 Jun 2010, 17:13 (Ref:2707516)

Flashlights over the engine bay of the #7 Audi... Dindo looked worried.

Acid09 · 9 Jun 2010, 17:20 (Ref:2707520)

BMW had their restrictor cut from 29.3mm to 29.0mm because of the dominant performance at Laguna Seca.

I don't know if the ACO even realises that the ALMS BMW is a completely different car? Ridiculous...

Victor_RO · 9 Jun 2010, 17:21 (Ref:2707522)

3:20.034 from Montagny.

NightStalk3r · 9 Jun 2010, 17:21 (Ref:2707523)

What Dominant performance at Leguna Seca?

924nut · 9 Jun 2010, 17:22 (Ref:2707526)

3.20 for Montagny - wow - I will go for 3.18 quali pole

and nice to see the Jag is getting some laps in and closing in on the slower GT2's

they should be using 28.6 like Ferrari and porsche since they also have 4.0l engines, so hey still have a huge break compard to their competition, that is if we forget that the whole car is more or less iligal, and full of waivers

Same engine size, larger restrictor = the car must be heavier.

Possible electrical issue for Highcroft, seemed like the pit lane limiter stuck on for Werner's out-lap.

What waivers? The LMS spec version barely needs any, one is for the transaxle gearbox which the car uses in road-going spec too. The ACO even announced to change the rules in that regard...

I think you are, since it is common knowlige that acura is honda(in the US) the company(acura) was founded to sell Hondas in the us as domestic cars, so while VW bought Bentley that existed since the begining of the last century, Acura was founded and built by honda

Sorry, but the car is not illegal. In any way shape or form, otherwise it would not be allowed on the track by the ACO!!!

the engine monunts, the suspension, the diff, the engine ........and so on and so on, the car is iligal, ask FIA. BW FIA and ACO rules are the same regarding the gt2 class!

and to quote a high FIA official, BMW preatty much built a car as they wanted, and said now let it race!

NightStalk3r · 9 Jun 2010, 17:29 (Ref:2707535)

For once im with arakis on this one.

Since I'm not familiar with the restrictor things I assume the smaler it is the weaker they perform, am I right?

EsbenT · 9 Jun 2010, 17:30 (Ref:2707538)

Just noticed that the #77 Porsche has gone faster than the Risi Ferrari. This pleases me
